Episode 44: The Real Meaning of Authenticity in Business with Diana Davis

by | Oct 12, 2025 | Podcast

✨ Episode Summary

Authenticity is the buzzword of the decade… but what does it actually mean to show up authentically in your business? And how do you do it without trauma-dumping, oversharing, or accidentally scaring off potential clients?

In this episode, I sit down with Diana Davis — coach for creative entrepreneurs, founder of Recess for Creatives, and one of the most real people on the internet — to talk about what authenticity really looks like in life and business, and y’all, this one gets so real.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why authenticity is really all about honesty
  • How to know when to pivot, pause, or push through
  • What burnout can teach you about your business model
  • The difference between honoring your intuition and giving up too soon
  • Diana’s Close Friends strategy on IG (and how to use it without oversharing your diary)
  • Letting go of offerings that no longer serve you 
  • Building a brand that evolves with you
